Abstract
Systems and methods for analyzing spend and/or trend for a prescription drug plan may be provided. In response to receiving a request to analyze spend and/or trend, a prescription drug spend and/or trend application may retrieve data related to the prescription drug plan from a database. The data may include drug claims data related to the prescription drug plan. The results of the analysis may be provided to a user computing device for display. In connection with the spend and/or trend analysis, a profile may be created for a prescription drug plan using data from at least one data source. The creation of a profile for a prescription drug plan may include the selection of a performance metric for a parameter of the prescription drug plan. If the performance metric deviates from plan data, a performance alert may be provided to the user computing device indicating this deviation.
